We have been trying out local trails and Jenkins Estates is one we hadn’t tried yet. It was rainy, wet and beautiful. Lots of trails to get alone and wonderful colors in the trees. Easy parking. I recommend this place for getting some steps in beautiful local nature.

We came here for family photos and it was great. The playground was amazing and my son had a blast. I love that the park was designed for kids of different abilities. Has great places for people to spread out and enjoy themselves.

Beautiful, immaculate grounds. Expect a crowd, and maybe some trouble parking, on fall weekends. Its a popular portrait photography destination!

Went to photograph senior portraits. Many fine places and backdrops for shots. Very popular with wedding photographers, too.

It is very scenic for being just off Farmington rd and there is plenty of adventuring and touring to be done. The bathrooms are closed and on Saturdays there are a lot of photographers and people doing their baby announcements but it is a gorgeous place. Also be ready for some hills.

Pretty park and nice grounds, occasional loud noises from nearby quarry. Found this nice little ornament hanging in a tree. I have noticed people have been hanging these around the grounds sporadically, so its not like they are overdone. I decided to leave it for someone else to find as well.

Beautiful area with lots of little trails and a wonderful garden. Highly recommended for picnics, walks, and sightseeing. Had a blast walking around with family and seeing all there was on the property.

Beautiful! Bigger than I expected. Extensive trail system. Beautiful groomed gardens as well. Lovely place for a stroll and will be returning.

Such a fun playground for kids! The soft rubber ground is perfect for toddlers.

It’s a mix of buildings and nature wth great views, perfect for hikes and or walks.

Beautiful place for a nice walk with the kids and family. Nice paved trails and some gravel too and picnic tables. Lots of nature and gardens, there is a cute little pound with fishes. Kids love it!

Lovely place to go for a walk. Dogs allowed and lots of paths to walk on. The areas closest to the estate buildings are very well kept and beautiful. Fun place to hide painted rocks!

Very clean and beautiful. Great place to walk and feel very safe.

Great trails for hiking with dogs. Saw people with strollers and their families out for a pleasant walk, as well.

Lots of variety to this public estate. Many things to see and explore. Should be a fun space for special events, when its safe to reopen indoor venues.

Absolutely gorgeous place. So many trails to explore, herb gardens, playground, historical buildings.

Many trails. Great gardens. Nice scenery.

I love Jenkins estate. I have been coming since I was little. The gardeners and all the maintenance staff do a fabulous job. Its very pretty and restful and theres a nice playground at camp Rivendale, and there are good places to picnic. Theres a cute little garden, too. Well, there are lots of nice gardens. Thats one of the best things about Jenkins estate, there are lots of separate little places to enjoy with whoever youre there with.

Beautiful place! We went to have some wedding pictures taken and had a great experience.

Jenkins estate is such a beautiful spot. I went there with a couple of friends and we instantly fell in love with the place. I would want to just sit there and relax on the lush green gardens.

Beautiful grounds. Many paths to walk. Peaceful and well maintained.

NIce grounds, beautiful flowers in spring but very dry in summer.

Beautifully manicured lovely views and the little garden is magical

The park is absolutely beautiful! But the people who maintain it are just flat out rude! I wouldn’t recommend going just for those people, if you are going to go just ignore them and the rest of the park is great! :)

Nice small city park. Not very crowded.

Awesome day...awesome place..Wedding day for the young

During the spring this estate is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

Beautiful and well maintained grounds around the estate. Lots of fun little gardens to see. The hiking trails are unpaved in areas, unmarked and steep at times. Bring a friend if unfamiliar with the paths or be prepared to get a little lost. Not exactly peaceful with the constant construction noise and Cooper Mtn. Dog Kennels near by but its a great little slice of nature in the suburbs.

Beautiful place with plenty to see and do.

Went for socially distanced wedding - great!

Nice trails. Gardens are very informative and the open space is perfect for relaxing.

Beautiful dog friendly place! The community garden is awesome.

This place is great. The playground is a lot of fun and there are tons of trails to walk. Its really beautiful in the spring when all the flowers are in bloom.

Lots of flowers and a large place to hike. There are hiking trails in the area or there is garden and there fire hiking trails in the forested area. Beautiful!

Great Pokemon hunting here. Master Gardeners have a nice demonstration garden as well. Nice trails during dryer seasons. Well worth the visit.

This place is beautiful the only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is I havent located a map. Other than that clean and beautiful

Great place in any season

Didnt view the home but the hiking trails are great! Wish I didnt have to see so many houses all around it but still nice nature trail.As far as the trails and hiking all is well kept and dogs are allowed on leashes but I personally prefer Cooper mountain trail as its more secluded and feels more serene.All in all both are great places and I highly recommend!

This place is so dreamy!!

Well maintained trails.

The grounds are beautiful. Great walking all year round!

Fun play area for kids, nice trails, benches for picnics and a wonderful garden.

Always a nice walk, beautiful scenery, and well taken care of property.

Cats love to walk around here

Great nature place.

Such a beautiful and serene spot

A wonderful place for a short hike and beautiful forested views.

Always a great place to walk!

Decent park to walk in. Back paths only have view of old quarry. Upper location with buildings looks great at sunset and a decent venue for events

Such a good, short hike! Great sights and wildlife. Aside from the buzz of the construction its a great park!

Small local park. Has old house that can still be rented for weddings and parties. Beautiful Rhododendrons blooming in the spring. Some as tall as the house. Great place to walk the trails.

Wonderful resource. The staff takes very good care of the grounds all year long. Great wooded trails, clean safe playground for kids at the top of the hill entrance, and lovely gardens etc.

Gorgeous property. Great place to have a picnic, walk beautiful trails, see the OSU Garden. This place is very pretty in the summer and is dog friendly (on leash only). We just finished walking the grounds for the second time. More beautiful now in summer time than in early spring. Must see park, bring a picnic, lots of park benches, picnic tables and loads of green well kept lawns to throw blanket down. We will definitely be packing a picnic next time we visit.

Lovely park with a great playground,ba beautiful rhododendron garden and lovely trails to discover and so much more. There are some geochashing available too.

Great park for walking or playing. Only downside is the jerk who runs the catering business that rents out the park. He expects people to be psychic and just know when the park is hosting a private event without any kind of signs up.

Such a lovely place for a weekend walk

Amazing property. We attend the preschool in the gate house and I love taking my daughter. It’s so beautiful, they really take care of the place and the garden is to die for!

Ominous skies... And a UFO!

Beautiful historical site. An ideal place for a retreat, small conference, party or wedding. The grounds are maintained and the staff is lovely; there is also a park attached.

We spent a little more than an hour here on a sprinkly cool New Years Day. Walked the trails and explored the grounds. Would be good to visit in the spring. Will try to come back.

I hate to give it such a high review, because then it be over crowded line Cooper mt park!

This place is beautiful! Great views and a variety of Flora. You could spend hours walking around here.

Beautiful venue. My sisters wedding was amazing. The friendly staff was awesome in all of their help with the setup, and Manning the food and drinks sections.

This is a lovely trail in the middle of a residential area. It was a good place for kids and dogs on leashes. You can see some houses around, but it still feels remote.

Good stuff here

Great walking paths. Very peacefu.

Would love to explore more. The birds are a plenty ! Although you dont see them as much you sure can hear them as youre walking The trail was awesome the garden even more incredible. My son and I played Peter Rabbit through the garden. Thankful for this place being very close to home. Trails are pretty!!

This is a beautiful place its great for just going for a walk having birthday parties there or an event I once went to a wedding there it was beautiful baby little kids playground open to the public

Good for a quick walk in the forest and less than two miles. Nice formal gardens too!

Very nice walking trails and a playground for the little ones at the upper parking lot.

Pretty forest views, pleasant public park.

Nice walking trails, beautiful property.

Took my old dog on a little hike here. Nice paths. Already starting to bloom on some plants, very early in the year. Go early if you dont want to run into a lot of people on weekends.

Beautiful grounds and trails

So beautiful and peaceful. Grounds are always well maintained. Nice walking trails. Love the Japanese garden area

Beautiful gardens

Perfect combination of history, cultures gardens and hiking trails. Bring the family including the pet!

This park is beautiful and has so much to offer. The trails are wide and clear and theres easy parking. Dogs are allowed on leash.

This is a large, beautiful estate full of trees, flowers and herbs. It is a great place to go for a walk and enjoy nature. It even hosts Pokemon Community Days each month, if you play that game. There are specialized gardens for pollinators, herbs, roses and even a playground for children.

Was there for the education garden. Quite an effort over the years. Good signage, smooth walkways, nice info and examples of plants that grow well around here.

Ive always dreamed of being married in the gardens of the Jenkins Estate, and camo Rivendale. Its beautiful and full of life, and downright otherworldly at night when the fog hangs in the trees.

Beautiful place! Need to go back soon and explore some more of the gardens.

Such a beautiful place to just take a relaxing scenic walk. A spectacular place for pictures for all occasions. They have small pond water features with bridges. Benches throughout the park. Gazebo and well kept up buildings. Both evergreen trees for green that lasts all through the winter and deciduous trees (trees that lose their leaves... i.e. maples, japanese maples, elm, ash, etc.) Which make gorgeous colors in the fall. There are grassy areas great for catching some rays, tossing a ball around or a frisbee or even a nice picnic . Although this park is perfect for the whole family, it does not have any play structures for kids to play on.

Beautiful grounds

My friends got married here and it was so pretty I would love to come back and visit the gardens.

Beautiful plantings and lovely fall foliage. Easy walking paths.

Great park! The kids love it, beautiful walking areas

Well developed and accessible trails. Good parking (except during events).

Great place to bring the kids for a little adventure hike, and a good little park up there. Also a cool place for a wedding event.

Beautiful place to walk your dog.

Nice place, but poor signage. Very hard to find the playground or any other area youre looking for.

Beautiful landscape, beautiful scenery, peaceful, nice walking trails, saw some wildlife, nothing extreme on the trails or wildlife. Nice getaway that is very close. Bring some sandwiches, drinks and take a seat on the benches.

Nice quiet trails away from the road! Bring bug spray right now and bear spray starting in May just in case! Not uncommon to at least see a coyote during the summer months if you are there later in the evening.

Beautiful walks and gardens. The rhododendrons were incredible in May. Dog and kid friendly.Edit: covid and distancing practices in place

Theres a super cool play park here that is perfect for young kids (2-5 years old). Theyve got the play park and a big open field right next to it and you can see your kids from most vantage points, which means less running and chasing as they move around. Not a lot of parking so get there early.

Lovely place, was nice to walk around and see everything.

The play ground is wonderful for kids. The trails are pretty neat and interesting. A hidden gem in the neighborhood.

A great place for a hike, lovely background for pictures, and events for the kids.

Beautiful grounds with a nice assortment of trails. Good to come for a walk.

So peaceful and beautiful! Great trails and playground. Im sure we will find ourselves there often! We were a bit lost though and wished for a map at the entrance.
